It becomes increasingly clear that ubiquitination of cellular proteins is not an indispensable prerequisite of their degradation in proteasomes. There are a number of proteins to be eliminated which are not pre-ubiquitinated for their recognition by regulatory subcomplex of 26S proteasome, but which directly interact with the 20S proteasome core particle (20S proteasome). The obligatory precondition for such interaction consists in existence of disordered (hydrophobic) fragments in the target protein. In this study we have investigated the interaction of a number of multifunctional (moonlighting) proteins (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), aldolase, pyruvate kinase) and neurodegeneration-related proteins (a-synuclein, myelin basic protein) with 20S proteasome immobilized on the SPR-biosensor chip and stabilized by means of a bifunctional agent dimethyl pimelimidate (in order to prevent possible dissociation of this subcomplex). Only two of all investigated proteins (aldolase and pyruvate kinase) interacted with the immobilized 20S proteasome (Kd of 8.17´10-7 M and 5.56´10-7 M, respectively). In addition to earlier detected GAPDH ubiquitination, mass spectrometric analysis of the studied proteins revealed the presence of the ubiquitin signature (Lys-e-Gly-Gly) only in aldolase. Oxidation of aldolase and pyruvate kinase, which promotes elimination of proteins via their direct interaction with 20S proteasome, caused a 2-3-fold decrease in their Kd values as comparison with this parameter obtained for the intact proteins. The results of this study provide further evidence for direct interaction of both ubiquitinated proteins (aldolase), and non-ubiquitinated proteins (pyruvate kinase) with the 20S proteasome core particle (20S proteasome). The effectiveness of this interaction is basically equal for the ubiquitinated proteins and non-ubiquitinated proteins.

AbstractCareful removal of unwanted proteins is necessary for cell survival. The primary constitutive intracellular protease is the 26S proteasome complex, often found in equilibrium with its free catalytic subcomplex– the 20S core particle. Protein degradation by 26S is tightly regulated by prior ubiquitination of substrates, whereas 20S is amenable to substrates with an unstructured segment. Differentiating their contributions to intracellular proteolysis is challenging due to their common catalytic sites. Here, by chemically synthesizing a synoptic set of homogenous ubiquitinated proteins, we ascribe signature features to 20S function and demonstrate a unique property: degrading the ubiquitin-tag along with the target protein. Cryo-EM confirms that a ubiquitinated substrate can induce asymmetric conformational changes to 20S. Mass-spectrometry of intracellular peptidome under hypoxia and in human failing heart identifies the signature properties of 20S in cells. Moreover, the ability of 20S proteasome to clear toxic proteins rapidly, contributes to better survival under these conditions.

ABSTRACT HSP27 is an ATP-independent chaperone that confers protection against apoptosis through various mechanisms, including a direct interaction with cytochrome c. Here we show that HSP27 overexpression in various cell types enhances the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins by the 26S proteasome in response to stressful stimuli, such as etoposide or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). We demonstrate that HSP27 binds to polyubiquitin chains and to the 26S proteasome in vitro and in vivo. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is involved in the activation of transcription factor NF-κB by degrading its main inhibitor, I-κBα. HSP27 overexpression increases NF-κB nuclear relocalization, DNA binding, and transcriptional activity induced by etoposide, ΤNF-α, and interleukin 1β. HSP27 does not affect I-κBα phosphorylation but enhances the degradation of phosphorylated I-κBα by the proteasome. The interaction of HSP27 with the 26S proteasome is required to activate the proteasome and the degradation of phosphorylated I-κBα. A protein complex that includes HSP27, phosphorylated I-κBα, and the 26S proteasome is formed. Based on these observations, we propose that HSP27, under stress conditions, favors the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins, such as phosphorylated I-κBα. This novel function of HSP27 would account for its antiapoptotic properties through the enhancement of NF-κB activity.

Assembly Pathways

The 26S proteasome is a key player in the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins, comprising a 20S core particle (CP) and a 19S regulatory particle (RP). The RP is further divided into base and lid subcomplexes, which are assembled independently from each other. We have previously demonstrated the assembly pathway of the CP and the base by observing assembly intermediates resulting from knockdowns of each proteasome subunit and the assembly chaperones. In this study, we examine the assembly pathway of the mammalian lid, which remains to be elucidated. We show that the lid assembly pathway is conserved between humans and yeast. The final step is the incorporation of Rpn12 into the assembly intermediate consisting of two modular complexes, Rpn3-7-15 and Rpn5-6-8-9-11, in both humans and yeast. Furthermore, we dissect the assembly pathways of the two modular complexes by the knockdown of each lid subunit.

The subunit contacts in the regulatory complex of the Drosophila 26 S proteasome were studied through the cross-linking of closely spaced subunits of the complex, and analysis of the cross-linking pattern in an immunoblot assay with the use of subunit-specific monoclonal antibodies. The cross-linking pattern of the purified 26 S proteasome exhibits significant differences as compared with that of the purified free regulatory complex. It is shown that the observed differences are due to extensive rearrangement of the subunit contacts accompanying the assembly of the 26 S proteasome from the regulatory complex and the 20S proteasome. Cross-linking studies and electron microscopic examinations revealed that these changes are reversible and follow the assembly or the disassembly of the 26 S proteasome. Although the majority of the changes observed in the subunit contacts affected the hexameric ring of the ATPase subunits, the alterations extended over the whole of the regulatory complex, affecting subunit contacts even in the lid subcomplex. Changes in the subunit contacts, similar to those in the regulatory complex, were detected in the 20S proteasome. These observations indicate that the assembly of the 26 S proteasome is not simply a passive docking of two rigid subcomplexes. In the course of the assembly, the interacting subcomplexes mutually rearrange their structures so as to create the optimal conformation required for the assembly and the proper functioning of the 26S proteasome.

Hexameric Atpase

In the proteasome holoenzyme, the hexameric ATPases (Rpt1-Rpt6) enable degradation of ubiquitinated proteins by unfolding and translocating them into the proteolytic core particle. During early-stage proteasome assembly, individual Rpt proteins assemble into the hexameric “Rpt ring” through binding to their cognate chaperones: Nas2, Hsm3, Nas6, and Rpn14. Here, we show that Rpt ring assembly employs a specific ubiquitination-mediated control. An E3 ligase, Not4, selectively ubiquitinates Rpt5 during Rpt ring assembly. To access Rpt5, Not4 competes with Nas2 until the penultimate step and then with Hsm3 at the final step of Rpt ring completion. Using the known Rpt–chaperone cocrystal structures, we show that Not4-mediated ubiquitination sites in Rpt5 are obstructed by Nas2 and Hsm3. Thus, Not4 can distinguish a Rpt ring that matures without these chaperones, based on its accessibility to Rpt5. Rpt5 ubiquitination does not destabilize the ring but hinders incorporation of incoming subunits—Rpn1 ubiquitin receptor and Ubp6 deubiquitinase—thereby blocking progression of proteasome assembly and ubiquitin regeneration from proteasome substrates. Our findings reveal an assembly checkpoint where Not4 monitors chaperone actions during hexameric ATPase ring assembly, thereby ensuring the accuracy of proteasome holoenzyme maturation.

In animal cells there are several regulatory complexes which interact with 20S proteasomes and give rise to functionally distinct proteasome complexes. γ-Interferon upregulates three immuno beta catalytic subunits of the 20S proteasome and the PA28 regulator, and decreases the level of 26S proteasomes. It also decreases the level of phosphorylation of two proteasome alpha subunits, C8 (α7) and C9 (α3). In the present study we have investigated the role of phosphorylation of C8 by protein kinase CK2 in the formation and stability of 26S proteasomes. An epitope-tagged C8 subunit expressed in mammalian cells was efficiently incorporated into both 20S proteasomes and 26S proteasomes. Investigation of mutants of C8 at the two known CK2 phosphorylation sites demonstrated that these are the two phosphorylation sites of C8 in animal cells. Although phosphorylation of C8 was not absolutely essential for the formation of 26S proteasomes, it did have a substantial effect on their stability. Also, when cells were treated with γ-interferon, there was a marked decrease in phosphorylation of C8, a decrease in the level of 26S proteasomes, and an increase in immunoproteasomes and PA28 complexes. These results suggest that the down-regulation of 26S proteasomes after γ-interferon treatment results from the destabilization that occurs after dephosphorylation of the C8 subunit.

ABSTRACT Two tandem cellulosome-associated genes were identified in the cellulolytic rumen bacterium, Ruminococcus flavefaciens. The deduced gene products represent multimodular scaffoldin-related proteins (termed ScaA and ScaB), both of which include several copies of explicit cellulosome signature sequences. The scaB gene was completely sequenced, and its upstream neighbor scaAwas partially sequenced. The sequenced portion of scaAcontains repeating cohesin modules and a C-terminal dockerin domain. ScaB contains seven relatively divergent cohesin modules, two extremely long T-rich linkers, and a C-terminal domain of unknown function. Collectively, the cohesins of ScaA and ScaB are phylogenetically distinct from the previously described type I and type II cohesins, and we propose that they define a new group, which we designated here type III cohesins. Selected modules from both genes were overexpressed inEscherichia coli, and the recombinant proteins were used as probes in affinity-blotting experiments. The results strongly indicate that ScaA serves as a cellulosomal scaffoldin-like protein for severalR. flavefaciens enzymes. The data are supported by the direct interaction of a recombinant ScaA cohesin with an expressed dockerin-containing enzyme construct from the same bacterium. The evidence also demonstrates that the ScaA dockerin binds to a specialized cohesin(s) on ScaB, suggesting that ScaB may act as an anchoring protein, linked either directly or indirectly to the bacterial cell surface. This study is the first direct demonstration in a cellulolytic rumen bacterium of a cellulosome system, mediated by distinctive cohesin-dockerin interactions.

Functional Aspects

The last decade has seen accumulating evidence of various proteins being degraded by the core 20S proteasome, without its regulatory particle(s). Here, we will describe recent advances in our knowledge of the functional aspects of the 20S proteasome, exploring several different systems and processes. These include neuronal communication, post-translational processing, oxidative stress, intrinsically disordered protein regulation, and extracellular proteasomes. Taken together, these findings suggest that the 20S proteasome, like the well-studied 26S proteasome, is involved in multiple biological processes. Clarifying our understanding of its workings calls for a transformation in our perception of 20S proteasome-mediated degradation—no longer as a passive and marginal path, but rather as an independent, coordinated biological process. Nevertheless, in spite of impressive progress made thus far, the field still lags far behind the front lines of 26S proteasome research. Therefore, we also touch on the gaps in our knowledge of the 20S proteasome that remain to be bridged in the future.

ABSTRACT The 26S proteasome, a central enzyme for ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis, is a highly complex structure comprising 33 distinct subunits. Recent studies have revealed multiple dedicated chaperones involved in proteasome assembly both in yeast and in mammals. However, none of these chaperones is essential for yeast viability. PAC1 is a mammalian proteasome assembly chaperone that plays a role in the initial assembly of the 20S proteasome, the catalytic core of the 26S proteasome, but does not cause a complete loss of the 20S proteasome when knocked down. Thus, both chaperone-dependent and -independent assembly pathways exist in cells, but the contribution of the chaperone-dependent pathway remains unclear. To elucidate its biological significance in mammals, we generated PAC1 conditional knockout mice. PAC1-null mice exhibited early embryonic lethality, demonstrating that PAC1 is essential for mammalian development, especially for explosive cell proliferation. In quiescent adult hepatocytes, PAC1 is responsible for producing the majority of the 20S proteasome. PAC1-deficient hepatocytes contained normal amounts of the 26S proteasome, but they completely lost the free latent 20S proteasome. They also accumulated ubiquitinated proteins and exhibited premature senescence. Our results demonstrate the importance of the PAC1-dependent assembly pathway and of the latent 20S proteasomes for maintaining cellular integrity.

In Cells

In mammalian cells, the 26S proteasomes vary in composition. In addition to the standard 28 subunits in the 20S core particle and 19 subunits in each 19S regulatory particle, a small fraction (about 10–20% in our preparations) also contains the deubiquitinating enzyme Usp14/Ubp6, which regulates proteasome activity, and the ubiquitin ligase, Ube3c/Hul5, which enhances proteasomal processivity. When degradation of ubiquitinated proteins in cells was inhibited, levels of Usp14 and Ube3c on proteasomes increased within minutes. Conversely, when protein ubiquitination was prevented, or when purified proteasomes hydrolyzed the associated ubiquitin conjugates, Usp14 and Ube3c dissociated rapidly (unlike other 26S subunits), but the inhibitor ubiquitin aldehyde slowed their dissociation. Recombinant Usp14 associated with purified proteasomes preferentially if they contained ubiquitin conjugates. In cells or extracts, adding Usp14 inhibitors (IU-1 or ubiquitin aldehyde) enhanced Usp14 and Ube3c binding further. Thus, in the substrate- or the inhibitor-bound conformations, Usp14 showed higher affinity for proteasomes and surprisingly enhanced Ube3c binding. Moreover, adding ubiquitinated proteins to cell extracts stimulated proteasome binding of both enzymes. Thus, Usp14 and Ube3c cycle together on and off proteasomes, and the presence of ubiquitinated substrates promotes their association. This mechanism enables proteasome activity to adapt to the supply of substrates.
